forgot all about this, keep buffing my main Class Sega, you do it every game

[Selphea]

...wait, Air Pocket Swing had PP cost problems in the first place?

[Masu]

I wonder when sega will realize that's not old class which need buff but Hero to be nerfed. Oh well it keep them busy instead of working on interesting content because "engine limitations". /salt mode OFF

Edit: They should not allow Hr class to participate to old eqs but ep5 and up in fact because they are definetely not made to sustain an Hero mpa in addition to killing fun of those who want to play old class (me at least).

[Kintama]

I'll care when the content that justifies these buffs gets revealed.

[Xaelouse]

Of course, the answer to everything is to add more power

Well whatever makes the stale content go by faster.

Hero doesn't need to be nerfed.

Older classes need to be buffed, and enemy difficulty needs to be buffed.

[wahahaha]

Hero doesn't need to be nerfed.

Older classes need to be buffed, and enemy difficulty needs to be buffed.

Hero needs one single nerf, Sword Action.

[Selphea]

Hero doesn't need to be nerfed.

Older classes need to be buffed, and enemy difficulty needs to be buffed.

That's one side of the equation but there's only so much you can make hitboxes move around before things get ridiculous. Yes you can buff gap closers but there's also projectile flight speed, close range PAs that have windup, movement speed while charging...

Hero does need to be nerfed because it was built for an entirely different game where everything is responsive. But the problem is when everything is responsive the feeling of weight and windup is just gone. You can band-aid old classes but the more you do, the more they end up feeling like the same class as Hero.

Meanwhile...

Pet buffs, yay!

Techer gets a buff specifically targeted towards running TE/RA, for some reason. SEGA is pushing full support, perhaps?
